Description
Crispy Indian okra snack made in an air fryer with gram flour, rice flour, and aromatic spices, offering a light and guilt-free alternative to deep-fried versions. Perfect for appetizers or side dishes.
Ingredients
2 cups okra (sliced or bite-sized)
3 tablespoons gram flour (besan)
2 tablespoons rice flour
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder (mild)
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
2 tablespoons water (for coating)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for finishing)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry okra slices to remove moisture
In a bowl, mix besan, rice flour, turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder, garam masala, and salt
Dip okra slices into the flour mixture to coat evenly
Transfer to a plate and place in air fryer basket in a single layer
Spritz or brush lightly with water for extra crispiness
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway
Sprinkle lemon juice after frying if desired
Notes
Slice okra thinly for best crisping results
Patting okra completely dry prevents sogginess
Adjust chili powder for spice level
